Verkehrsgesellschaft Gersprenztal

Verkehrsgesellschaft Gersprenztal mbH (VGG) is a German regional bus company based in Reichelsheim in the Odenwald, Hesse. It was founded in 1999 by the current managing directors Rainer Sauter and Karl Reinhard Wissmüller together with the firms Horst Mark (Auto Mark, since departed) and Verkehrsgesellschaft Untermain (also since departed). The company is a joint venture of the Odenwald bus operators Wissmüller (Michelstadt) and Sauter Omnibusreisen Neckartal-Odenwald (Beerfelden). VGG operates an extensive route network in the Bergstraße district, where it holds concessions for the Odenwald Nord, Odenwald Süd, Nördliche Bergstraße and Ried line bundles, as well as the urban services of Bensheim, Heppenheim and Viernheim. It also runs services in the Gersprenztal on behalf of Odenwaldmobil and operates subcontractor services in the Groß-Gerau-Darmstadt area. The fleet consists of around 100 Mercedes-Benz buses, predominantly Citaro low-floor models meeting emission standards 5, EEV and 6. The vehicles are fully air-conditioned and equipped to carry strollers, bicycles and wheelchairs. The company headquarters and depot are located at Am Pfeifferssteg 4 in Reichelsheim. In 2016 a second location with its own administration and a modern repair workshop was established in Bensheim near the motorway. VGG is registered at the Amtsgericht Darmstadt under HRB 71337 and is managed by Rainer Sauter and Karl Reinhard Wissmüller. The company's website provides information about the company, forms, news and current traffic reports, and directs passengers to the Verkehrsverbund Rhein-Neckar (VRN) and Rhein-Main-Verkehrsverbund (RMV) for timetable and disruption information.
